    Yes I strongly disagree with the M8 LAC being an honorable mention, as it is absolutely good enough to be on the main list. It has the good cannon and speed, but it also has a .50cal which can pen the sides of almost anything at this br, not to mention its usefulness against aircraft, and it is also surprisingly survivable.

    The 50 cal has a 360 degree pintle mount making it a legitimate SPAA at rank 1 as well. I consider it the best 1.3 or lower tank in the game.

    The Panzer II models have one of the most insane survivabilities at their BR, the armor itself is reasonable on stats, but in-game it feels way better, some shots that theoretically shouldn't bounce at all, bounce like it was nothing, even in the C variant

    You’re incorrect about the Pz II Cs armor. The armor consist of 14.5mm plates bolted on top of each other. The glacis is especially strong compared to other vehicles and can bounce rounds with almost 100mm of penetration, making the Pz II C in general better armored than the F.

    How come the sarc os on the list but not the Daimler? The sarc is less stable, larger and elevation/depression angles all for 2mph more speed. And the Daimler catches shots in its wheels much more so is more survivable.

    I’d say for expensive but fun overpowered tanks the 2C BIS and T-35 are my picks for most fun. The 2C Bis in AB is hilariously unmatched if played semi-correctly. Fast reload for a 155mm, a gun that will 100% kill provided you hit, full speed reverse, tracks larger than some tanks that absorb shots like crazy, 12 man crew. in AB it’s more reactive and faster to traverse. I’ve used it for the event when I need to get a ton of points fast (spawn canceling with the event AMD.35) Currently my K/D sits at 48/504 and that’s with a lot of extra deaths where I uptier it to kill leopards. The T-35 is probably better overall at its BR, it’s just got a much more risky play style since you won’t always one shot everything

    Oh Tankenstein. The 20mm extra armor on the Pz III J is definitely worth it as you can actually absorb cannon rounds when angled. The F can stop 20mm rounds at best. Since postpen damage of solid shot depends on the amount of armor penetrated, the J can easily survive getting hit by 37mm and 40mm AP and poor French vehicles will really struggle.

    Ka Chi IS a beast but I still prefer the Swedish APDS slingers over it. Main reason is those are the only reliable long range tanks in rank one (tanks not spgs) and the lack of depression with pontoons on Ka Chi. Also it lacks a MG and HE shell at a br filled with open crew compartment vehicles

Strv 31 i think it is, is also amazing the engine can block long 75mms, good reverse speed and 4 crew but your gunner is your loader, so you maintain full reload speed with just 2 crew, also that amazing swedish apds.

    I'm surprised the Char 2C bis didn't make it to #1. That thing is huge and has almost double the crew size (12) and one shots everything, even if you don't directly hit said target. And as if that wasn't good enough, it also has a speedy reload, considering the caliber of the gun. And not only that! It also has a lower battle rating somehow at 1.7 compared to 2.0 with the Ka-Chi It takes the enemy forever to destroy it, and while the enemy is trying to kill it, you can take your time to rotate your turret and destroy said enemy. The Ka-Chi used to be the best low tier tank until this thing showed up. It is simply better in every single way, until Gaijin decides to do something about it. And unlike the Ka-Chi, it is still obtainable.

    The low tier event vehicles are almost always premium. It also depends on the event if you can use it or not. Sometimes they will let you use any rank vehicle but the higher the rank the more points you get or it might be an event that you need to use a minimum on rank 3.

    One time I killed 4 T35s in a single match with some random like BT5 or something, they're not that great, definitely way worse than ka chi or char 2c bis. Simple observe if they're using their 45mm cannon or not (some people empty it out at the start of the match). If they are, shoot that and it's an instant kill usually. If they aren't, shoot their main turret 2 or 3 times and they can't do anything and are just dead.
